I found this story through HOW magazine's website. It turns out that I'm not the only one who can't work on anything without listening to some music in the background.

I've come to the conclusion that I may be the most easily distracted, most forgetful person in the world. When I'm not leaving books in all my classrooms or forgetting supplies at school, I'm forgetting to follow up on other things that need to be done. I left my flashdrive SOMEWHERE for only the millionth time on Friday, and I still can't find ( Read more... )

The past weekend was quite busy. I had a couple big-time things to run on Sunday. First, I had to cover the LEC meeting and then run the commissioner training...I was gone all afternoon from 1:30 till around six, in the same room, without living. Things went smoothly(especially the LEC) but it was good to be done ( Read more... )

March Madness is upon us once again. With the first and second rounds done, it's on to the Sweet 16 for those fortunate enough to still be alive. This is a little late, I realize, and I actually wanted to make a post about the tourney, you know, when it started, but things happen. Anyways, back on subject. The tournament has not failed to ( Read more... )

The star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, Brett Favre has stunned fans all over the country by announcing his retirement.This was a complete surprise to me. I never even heard about it until just a few minutes ago.

...is the final score of Super Bowl XLII. But who is the winner? I'll give you a hint: IT'S NOT THE PATRIOTS. The Giants did the unthinkable last night by beating the "unbeatable" New England Patriots and spoiling their perfect season. And they did so in grand style, completley outplaying the Pats on defense and making far more key offensive ( Read more... )

OK, the biggest news for the past two days: OMGSNOW! Right after the first minor snowfall melts, we get about 7-8 inches more, and an extended weekend for this week. Yay for no classes. Last night when it was all still coming down though, wow. I had an awful time coming back from work. You couldn't see the lines on the pavement when I was on ( Read more... )

Ahh, back to class today. Kind of a shock really, after the massive break. I never thought I would say this, but there's almost too much time off on for the Christmas holidays. I had way too much free time over break. Sure, I got things accomplished, I had more time to work, and all of those nice things, but the in-between was killer. Not ( Read more... )
